c) This story exemplifies the underlying principle of courage. Having courage doesnot mean that one does not have fear. It means that one is willing to face fear - toface fear itself in order to know the truth about something. In a very real sense,one could say that fear is the separation from the truth, and that courage is thewillingness to go through fear to get to the truth, All fears, then, refer back to theone fear that is our separation from the truth of who and what we really are - ourtrue nature, our undivided and interconnected self.
